Djruggs Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 About 8 years ago, I created uniform sets for all 9 CFL teams as well as a league-wide alternate program. Unfortunately, the uniforms in the league have only gotten worse over time, so I'm back to mockup some new looks. Unlike last time, I didn't mockup new templates to match their uniform provider's templates since the New Era uniforms are awful and look cheap. Given that Nike seems to be the only logical next step, I decided to go with them. Throughout this series, all uniform elements (helmets, jerseys, pants, socks) are designed to be interchangeable throughout the uniform sets unless otherwise stated or part of a throwback set (should I decide to mock some up). I also plan on doing a league-wide alternate program once all main uniforms have been completed. Up first is the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos suffer from boring jerseys. For some reason, New Era decided to just completely remove any design elements from the jerseys and opted to make them look like the Toronto Raiders. The uniforms I mocked are heavily influenced by their 1975 uniforms, however, I did carry over the blue numbers on the home uniforms. C&C always appreciated. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djruggs Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Up next, we have the Montreal Alouettes. Although I might've preferred their previous identity, I actually really like and appreciate their redesign from 2019, although I had some ideas on how to spruce it up a bit. This season, they announced a revamped (and improved) helmet, so I decided to base the design elements on the new stripe. I also threw in a throwback for good measure. C&C appreciated as always. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Up next, we have the Edmonton Elks. For the Elks, It's a bit of a mix of some old and new. I didn't want to completely reinvent the wheel with them, but I did want to bring back the option for an alternate horns helmet as well as incorporating the horn football logo into the pants stripe as opposed to being on the sleeve and a repeating logo down the pant legs. C&C always appreciated. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 For the Saskatchewan Roughriders, I wanted to do something different than wat I did in my last go around. For the Riders, I mocked up an evolution of their 2007 uniforms into a more traditional and less gimmicky set. C&C always appreciated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm intrigued to see what you do with the rest of the league. Ottawa unveiled a RoughRiders 'R' style helmet with stripes that looks amazing and should be the full time helmet IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very straight forward rebrand for Ottawa: make them the evolution of the RoughRiders. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 It's a bit nit-picky, but I'd say rotate your helmet logos about 15 degrees back. They'd all be sloping 'downhill' on a player. Your designs are super clean. Good work. Quote https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Québécois Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Although I think the MontréALS touch is very clever, it changes the official name of the city! I can't imagine writing New Yorks or Vancouvers on a team uniform would fit! But these uniforms are very beautiful! Very clean!

Djruggs Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 For the Calgary Stampeders, it's really just a return to basics. Nothing crazy, just wanted to give them a clean and classic set. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that, but believe it or not, it's an official wordmark from the team! I thought it was an interesting play on the city name and team name so I decided to include it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also want the pant stripes to match the helmet stripes. I'm just a stickler for that detail. Otherwise, these are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 For the Lions, I based their set off the stripes on their 80's socks. Also, I wanted to reinforce orange as their dominant color as opposed to Adidas and New Era focussing more on the black. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 The second to last team is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Nothing crazy here, just some simplifying of their existing look. I made the sleeve stripes a more traditional Northwestern Stripe, took away the blue yolk on the away jersey, added an option for white pants, and created a color reversed set with gold jerseys. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewars2008 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 All of these so far are very good! Like able to have their own unique yet traditional approach. Toronto, Saskatchewan and Calgary really stands out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 For the final team, we have the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. For the TiCats, it's a healthy mix of old and new. I wanted to expand on what I did for my last CFL endeavor, but still bringing in new options such as white pants and a yellow jersey. I've decided to also revive the Signature Series uniforms as I thought it was an interesting way for teams to get a little weird with their uniforms, and in a series of fairly traditional uniforms, I think it will be a fun exercise. C&C greatly appreciated, and if anyone has any ideas for the signature series, please sound off below. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 For the first signature series uniform, we have the Toronto Argonauts. Much like the CFL's last go around 2013, the signature series will be using a different jersey template, this time being Nike's Vapor Fusion template introduced to Oregon in 2020. For this series, the goal is to have non-traditional uniforms within reason. Given that the Argos have had many classic looks, I decided to draw inspiration from their sleeve striping that they wore for the majority of the 2010s and transform it into a pseudo Steelers style yolk. C&C always appreciated. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird669 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 This whole set is great. LOVE the Argos look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djruggs Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Next up in the signature series, we have Montreal. I really liked how the Als incorporated their old logos into their new identity, so I focused their uniforms on these and used design elements from their early 60s uniforms. C&C always welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
